    Anyone care to predict how this one will play out?

    Foreman is boring as bat **** to watch but highly effective nonetheless and a ***** to deal with.

    Thus far Sergio has looked pretty good against opposition who mostly dont possess the style or attributes of Yuri.
    So he may well come undone in this one.

    Im pretty sure Foreman is ranked highest by the WBC, so thats why this is the one I thought of but if anyone wants to analyse how he would go against the other champs please do.

    Stylistically might not be the best match up. Both likes to box and move

    Martinez had some crappy opposition.His best win against Bunema,
    who i dont even comprehend how could he ending up on HBO.

    Martinez has been hyped by the HBO people on his last 2 fights,
    clearly there still is a Loudibella HBO friendship, so they are ass-kissing Lou's fighters.And the majority of fight fan are sheep enough to follow the opinion of tv-people.

    So im undecided on Martinez, not on the bandwagon.

    Yuri Foreman is very underrated.
    He would outbox almost everybody in jr middle
    Specially guys with slow hands.

    Martinez is quick too.

    Martinez would win. They'd probably look very similar, and it would be a fight where both guys are way on the outside and jumping in occasionally, but Martinez just punches much harder and that would be the difference.

    Im a big fan of Yuri Foreman and skillful boxing.

    I can see its not the trend today, because you would need to have trained eyes and knowledge of boxing to appreciate.
    Many people who post here like gory mismatches, what i find repulsive
    and a disgrace to boxing.

    its a free country you watch what u want

    Yuri Foreman is a poor man's Corey Spinks. All he does is circle and jab.

    "trained eye":lol:. That's nonsense, Foreman is a boring fighter. My eyes know boring when the see them. There is nothing unique or special about Foreman.
